About the Family

This warm, grounded family has two young children (a toddler and a baby) and is creating a home rooted in rhythm, nature, and connection. Their days are intentionally simple and sensory-rich—time outdoors, shared meals, music, storytelling, and meaningful daily life.

The mother is a nutritional therapist and places a deep emphasis on organic, farm-to-table cooking and a nourishing home environment. The family enjoys sourcing high-quality ingredients, preparing meals from scratch, and cultivating a sense of calm and beauty in everyday routines.

They are inspired by Waldorf and are also open to Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and nature-based approaches, especially for someone who feels aligned with these philosophies or is interested in learning more.

The family splits time between Puerto Rico, Maine, California, and New York, and values travel, flexibility, and a spirit of adventure.
